Mark DeMots

My name literally means pay attention to what I say. With such nomenclature comes great promise and great responsibility. I do all I can to live up to my name. I am a Romantic. If you are unsure what that means, do some research. It does not mean I am obsessed with sex, but who doesn't like a little love in their lives? Think Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table, think Frankenstein's monster, As such, strong emotions play a large part in my approach to literature. In order to achieve this Romantic Ideal, sometimes the emotions seem to be inflated or exaggerated. This is done for effect and as part of the aesthetic charm of the pieces. I do not ascribe to any particular style or structure, but the structure of my poetry is designed to dictate the flow and rhythm of the works. As a Romantic, I tend to break rules, rebel against the norm and create from the flow of words in my heart. 

I hope you enjoy what I have written and if you do or don't, feel free to drop a comment to explain why. I am open to informed discourse and reserve the right to agree or disagree as I will. I think sometimes it is most fascinating to hear what others think about what I have written. Outside perspectives sometimes lead me to understanding my internal workings better than if my perspective is the sole voice ringing in my head. Please feel free to comment on anything in anyway. I warn you that i may respond.
